So my son just started nursery, he is 3 and this was his settling in week. Everything was going well until the last couple of days he done home and said his teacher and another senior member of staff hislt him and threw him. On those two days he came hone super angry and change in behaviour. I've withdrawn him from the school. Has anyone had such experience and reported to ofsted and safeguarding bodies? What was the outcome?

When I look at the pittance that is paid to care for our most vulnerable people - babies and the elderly, it doesn’t surprise me at all that they are hit. If more education and a commensurate pay rate was required, this would improve things.

What is the matter with you??

In regards to procedure - speak to manager who would then have to contact LADO and OFSTED for an investigation to take place. If it is the manager you are concerned about then there is usually a number such as First Direct you can contact yourself and say that you want LADO to investigate.

The staff in question would usually be suspended while the investigation took place. The outcome would depend on what was discovered.

If you only contact OFSTED they may either call the nursery or do an unannounced visit to talk about the concerns raised.

Your nursery should have a safeguarding lead and if you know who they are and trust them you could also speak with them.
